PKS Validation Suite

Streamline the Validation of Your PK/PD Clinical Data Repository: Get Through Validation to Compliance Quickly

As required by 21 CFR and ICH regulatory guidelines, computer systems used in the pharmaceutical industry must be validated to assure proper performance. As a result, companies often spend weeks of precious time performing computer system validation. The Phoenix® Knowledgebase Server (PKS™) Validation Suite™ is a desktop application that contains a set of document templates, test data, and automated test scripts that accelerate the validation of PKS in a regulated environment. Even when using PKS Online – which already saves most of the validation effort – the remaining task of validating the correctly functioning access from your user’s desktops to PKS Online is significantly reduced. With the PKS Validation Suite, users can:

Automatically operate PKS in order to generate output

Compare that output to standard known results

Export the results to a Microsoft® Word® Run Report
